blackish. Stipe hollow, fragile, rather equal, floccose-scaly ; the annu- 

 lus fugacious. Lamellae approximate, white. Spores .0055X-0035 mm. 

 In woods. Pileus 1-2 in. broad, stipe about 2 in. long. This is a 

 variety of ^. clypeolarius, Bull, according to Fries. 



e'. Pileus with whitish or alutaceous scales. 



17. A. CRISTATUS, A. & S. — Pileus slightly" fleshy, campanulate, obtuse; 

 cuticle at first contiguous, then seceding in subgranulose scales. Stipe 

 hollow, slender, equal, silky-fibrillose ; the annulus seceding. Lam- 

 ellae free, at length remote. 



In woods among the old leaves. Pileus 1-2 in. broad, stipe 2-3 in. 

 high. This plant is remarkable for its offensive odor. The pileus is 

 whitish, alutaceous or yellowish, it is fragile, and often split and ir- 

 regular ; the stipe is curved or crooked and floccose. 



18. A. MiAMENSis, n. sp. — White. Pileus somewhat fleshy, convex 

 then explanate, even, scaly. Stipe hollow, glabrous, nearly equal; the 

 annulus fragile. Lamellse approximate. Spores .006X'003 mm. (See 

 Plate III.) 



In woods upon the old leaves. Pileus 1-1^ in. in diameter, stipe 

 about 2 in. long. This plant diff'ers from A. er7nineus, Fr., in its 

 habitat, and in the pileus being scaly, and the stipe glabrous. 



B. Pileus dry, granulose. 



19. A. NAUciNDS, Fr. — Whitish. Pileus fleshy, soft ; cuticle, thin, 

 glabrous, crumbling into granules; the center umbonate, even. Stipe 

 rather hollow, fibrillose, tapering upward from the thickened base ; 

 annulus thin, seceding. Lamellse free, approximate. 



On slopes and grass}' grounds. Pileus 4-5 in. broad, stipe 3-4- in. 

 high, and nearly an inch thick at the base. I have seen very few speci- 

 mens of this plant, and have not had an opportunity to examine the 

 spores ; they are said by Fries to be globose. A similar plant is 

 called A. naucinoides by Prof. Peck ; in it the spores are subelliptic, 

 and .0080X-0056 mm. 



20. A. CARCHARiAS, Pcrs.— Pilcus fleshy, convex, then plane, umbon- 

 ate, granulose, flesh-color. Stipe stuff"ed, then hollow, somewhat bulbous, 

 scaly, concolorous. Lamellse attached, pure white. 



In woods among the old leaves, not common, Pileus 1-2 in. broad, 

 the stipe about 2 in. long. 



21. A. GRANOsus, n. sp.— Pileus fleshy, convex, umbonate, furfuracc-
